Michter's 2024 Limited Release Toasted Barrel Finish Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
In stock
First introduced to great acclaim in the Fall of 2014, Michter’s US1 Toasted Barrel Finish Bourbon is a groundbreaking whiskey expression. It is made by taking Michter’s US1 Kentucky Straight Bourbon and then aging it for an additional period in a second custom made barrel. This second barrel is assembled from 18-month air-dried wood and then toasted but not charred.
The truly unique and delicious taste of Michter’s US1 Toasted Barrel Finish Bourbon represents a remarkable achievement given that it is Kentucky Straight Bourbon with nothing extra added or done except placement in a second toasted barrel.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Amber-gold with a warm copper glow, deepening toward a mahogany rim.
Nose
Rich toasted oak leads, releasing creamy vanilla, caramel and brown sugar. Subtle maple and almond notes unfold with a whisper of cocoa, while warm spices—cinnamon and clove—add depth. The corn sweetness remains bright, carried on a polished oak finish that hints at the toasted barrel’s influence.
Palate
Silky, medium-bodied palate built on toasted, oak-kissed sweetness: vanilla bean, caramel and creme brulee meld with soft spice and a hint of almond. Subtle toasty wood frames a creamy mid-palate, unfolding notes of maple, dark fruit, and a warm, lingering finish.
Finish
Long and warm, this finish lingers with toasted oak, vanilla and caramel, while subtle spice unfolds slowly. The second toasted-but-not-charred barrel adds refined sweetness and a silky, faint smoke, leaving a soft, sophisticated glow that invites the next sip.
